Due to a power failure on a LAN this weekend TerAngreal lost a lot of good PC material (Abit IC7, P4 2.6C, 36gb WD Raptor !!) the last item was a GF4 Ti4600, I plugged it in a system of mine, the system starts up, the fans all spin. I don't get any image though on the monitor.

however Windows XP loads in the background and after 30secs I'm able to connect to the PC with remote desktop and everything is fine.

now if that GF4 was completely dead my mobo would not boot and let out the know BEEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP to say that there is no videocard in the system.

this doesnt happen.. what can be wrong?

We've tried connecting to the videocard with D-Sub and DVI, alas to no success.
